Duckhorn Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2008 Wine Review (NW)

Tasting notes:

Green apple, citrus, and green herbs on the nose

Medium bodied and focused flavors on the palate

Finishes with more citrus and cut grass

With all the hot weather, I've had a nice run of Sauvignon Blancs lately. This one shows nicely on a warm afternoon with appetizers.

Our friends treated us to this bottle on a recent visit to their home in Wisconsin. While this wine runs $25 or more, there are also plenty of great Sauvignon Blancs for much less money. Don't miss the perfect opportunity to enjoy one. And raise a glass!
